Synopsis

A workaholic is faced with striving for the one goal she never wanted: love.

Campbell Andrews despises exactly three things in life: incompetence, tardiness, and love stories. Making partner at her law firm at thirty-four, she has no time for anything or anyone else. And certainly no respect for those who choose love over work. That is, until she wakes up in Heart Springs—her own personal hell.

The good news? She’s not dead. She’s been magically transported to a small town straight out of the Hallmark channel, complete with a meddling mayor, seasonal festivals, and friendly townsfolk. Cam can’t stand it, but in order to make it back to her real life, she has to fulfill three tasks . . . foremost among them, experience true love. It seems impossible. But anything’s possible with a change of heart.

Goodreads review by mimi (taylor’s version) on March 24, 2025

I was still recovering from that nightmare of All I Want Is You, so it took me a while to fully feel invested in the story, BUT *bigger sigh ever*… this was better! It was! Better! Than the worst book I read last year. Change of Heart is a cute and funny story set in an idyllic Hallmark town where......more

Thank you to the publisher for my early copy of this title! It is going to physically pain me to write this review, but reviews are meant to be honest, right? *sigh* For starters, I've liked or loved the other four books I've read by Falon Ballard. They were fun, fast paced, had likable main character......more

Quotes

One of Nerd Daily's Must-Read Swoonworthy Romance Book Releases of 2025

"While this book does have its Hallmark-esque moments, Change of Heart doesn’t fall into all of the stereotypes you see in those films. No matter if you love them or hate them, you’re bound to find Change of Heart charming." —Culturess

"Calling all Hallmark Channel romance lovers." —Well + Good

"If you think Ballard’s Change of Heart sounds like Schmigadoon or Pleasantville, you wouldn’t be wrong. But Heart Springs has a distinctly Hallmark style, complete with various misadventures as Cam tries different jobs—and different men—to find the ones that fit just right. A self-aware heroine, Cam sharply picks apart the well-worn tropes she finds herself living. But as Cam learns to find the charm in them, we do as well. And there is quite a lot of charm, not just in our frank, snarky heroine but in her love interest, Ben." —BookPage

"Humorous . . . A spicy romance with the charm of a movie, it is refreshing that falling in love isn't the only worthwhile goal . . . A fun rom-com with a stellar heroine." —Booklist

"Whimsical . . . [a] clever riff on the classic small-town romance aesthetic." —Publishers Weekly

"Cam is a spiky, deliberately hard-to-love character at first, and it’s both fun and satisfying to see her realize that human connections and meaningful work can be even more important than chasing someone else’s definition of success. Ballard creates a delightful world in Heart Springs and an ideal romance hero in Ben. An entertaining and offbeat romance that balances magic, humor, and heart." —Kirkus Reviews

"A fanciful, slow-burn grumpy/sunshine tale, ideal for readers who enjoy escapist romance." —Library Journal

"Laugh out loud funny and romantic beyond the scope of space and time, Change of Heart is another total winner from Falon Ballard. I have never met a heroine I’ve cheered for so hard." —Annabel Monaghan, author of Same Time Next Summer and Nora Goes Off Script

"The perfect blend of wit and romance. I love my rom coms with a slice of magical realism and Change of Heart delivers in spades. Imagine Pleasantville and The Hating Game had a book baby. I adored this book; Falon Ballard at her best." —Sophie Cousens, author of Is She Really Going Out With Him?

"Laugh-out-loud funny, heartwarming, and with a heroine who commands every room she enters, I couldn’t put Change of Heart down. I want to live in Heart Springs, I want Cam Andrews in my corner, and I want this story to be adapted into an actual Hallmark movie." —Sarah Hogle, author of Old Flames and New Fortunes

"Change of Heart is the badass feminist romcom that fans of Pleasantville and The Stepford Wives will love. It’s funny, sharp, and a slow burn that will keep you on the edge of your seat." —Erin La Rosa, author of The Backtrack

"Full of her signature charm, steam, and laugh-out-loud moments, Falon Ballard’s newest fully delivers. Change of Heart is perfect for anyone who has ever wanted to see the big-city Hallmark villain rewrite the narrative and become the unexpected heroine of her own story. I devoured this in a single, delicious sitting!" —Holly James, author of Name Your Price
